Todd Boehly has learned how much Chelsea will rake in from their players competing at the World Cup in Qatar. With Graham Potter seemingly eager to bolster his squad in January, the windfall from the tournament comes as a nice boost.
Unfortunately for the Blues, the club will not be granted any funds from players reaching the final or, better still, winning the prestigious competition. However, the west Londoners will be thankful for the bonuses reaped from Hakim Ziyech and Mateo Kovacic for reaching the World Cup semi-final.
Ziyech was key to his nation navigating their way past the likes of Portugal, Spain and Belgium before France stood in their way. Kovacic played as much of an integral role for Croatia, who reached the latter stages of the tournament despite the odds being stacked against them.
